Construction Carolus Quinto I

In 1998 the keel of our gig was laid at the Royal Yachting Club in Ghent. In 1999 the actual construction works commenced. Around 20 youngsters form the seascouts group in Ghent helped boatbuilder Hendrik Morael with the construction.

In may 2000, after more than a year, the boat was finished and named Carolus Quinto. The launching ceremony took place on the base of seascouts group ‘De Wilde Eend’.

CONSTRUCTIon CAROLUS QUINTO II

In 2012 we decided to invest in a new gig to replace the old one at the age of 15 years. With the substantial funding of Ghent, the construction started in august 2013. The boat was ready in june 2014, just in time for its first contest, the Atlantic Challenge in France (Morbihan)
